Transport Tips

  • Buy multi-day transit passes if available — they almost always save money
  • Walking is free and the best way to discover neighborhoods
  • Book intercity trains in advance for the best fares
  • Use ride-sharing apps (Uber, Bolt, Grab) instead of street taxis for fair pricing
  • Get a Greyhound hop-on-hop-off pass for flexible budget travel along the coast.
